“Share the world, one drawing at a time” by joining the Crystal Lake Chapter of Urban Sketchers (USk) for a day of creativity on the historic Woodstock Square. Our home base for the day is the MCC Catalyst Campus in downtown Woodstock, where we’ll gather for meals and share ideas. From there, we’ll head out to capture the vibrant Woodstock Square including the weekly Farmers Market and the architectural beauty of Woodstock’s historic buildings. New to sketching? Don't be intimidated! Urban sketching is simply the practice of drawing on location and capturing the world as you see it. Our community of artists is inclusive and are eager to share tips, tricks, and provide guidance to help you get started. Do you have unsured supplies? Join us at our Art Supplies Swap & Share during the event, where you can bring unused art supplies to exchange with fellow artists for fresh inspiration and creativity.Meals (light breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are provided with registration. Artists are responsible for bringing their own supplies such as sketchbook, drawing materials, portable seating, and personal items. Questions about what to bring? Email Julie Kukreja at [email protected]. Age 18+
